My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

293 Dragon King Form

“I was just lucky,” Qin Huai said humbly.

“Aunt!” Xu Tu looked at Xu Yuexin with tears in his eyes. He didn’t expect that his aunt would expose what he had been trying so hard to hide.

“Have you forgotten why I brought you out this time?” Xu Yuexin looked at her nephew coldly. “If you want to regain your face, work hard to become stronger.”

Xu Tu’s expression drooped like a wilted eggplant. At the same time, He Daxin and Jing Jiuying hurriedly took a few steps back. As for the plan they had made earlier, they had already selectively forgotten about it.

Xu Yuexin led Xu Tu and the others away. Meanwhile, Qin Huai was pulled into the room by Luo Huatian and the other two.

“When we left Pingnan City and walked all the way to Lingjiang, bandits ran amok along the way. After many trials, we finally reached Lingjiang City,” Luo Huatian recounted. “When the general guarding the city heard that we were refugees from Pingnan City, he deliberately made things difficult for us. After swindling all our money, he chased us out of Lingjiang, so we had no choice but to go to Huai Dan City. We didn’t expect to be captured by the Sacred Heart sect halfway.”

The four of them, who had not seen each other for a year, were deeply moved. They chatted for several hours in the room.

In the end, Luo Huatian and Luo Ya finally voiced their thoughts. Qin Huai was silent for a moment.

“If you’re willing to go to the Blue Sea Pavilion, I won’t stop you,” he said. He knew that the current world indeed needed the backing of force, and his strength was not enough to guarantee that he could absolutely protect them.

Qin Huai continued, “Since there’s the so-called Luoshui bloodline, then make good use of it. If you’re having a difficult time in the Blue Sea Pavilion, send a message to the Nine Dragons sect. I will take you away.”

His voice was soft but firm. He didn’t know much about the so-called bloodline; he had only heard about it from the Daoist of the Green Cloud Temple.

He had thought that he would only be able to see its might when he went to Qingzhou. He did not expect such a person to be by his side. However, the two of them had already missed the best time to cultivate, in his knowledge, so they could still be valued and nurtured by the Blue Sea Pavilion. If their cultivation was successful, it would definitely not be bad.

“However, you have to be careful at all times in the Blue Sea Pavilion. The martial artists of the large sects have many methods, and they might have the means to seize the bloodline,” Qin Huai reminded again. He had experienced such a thing before, so he had to be on guard.

He had tried to persuade the three of them, but they had all rejected him. As the saying goes, risks and opportunities co-exist. Qin Huai could not insist on anything.

“Haha. Don’t worry, I’ve been in Pingnan for so many years, so I’m quite accurate at judging people,” Luo Huatian reassured Qin Huai.

The group sighed again. Several hours later, everyone stopped in front of Lingjiang City.

“Senior Brother! I will definitely work hard to cultivate!” Luo Ya said, her voice low and her eyes filling with tears.

Yu Xin and Luo Huatian were the same, tears welling up in their eyes.

“Elder Xu, I’ll leave my three relatives in your care,” Qin Huai bowed solemnly at Xu Yuexin.

“Don’t worry,” Xu Yuexin said seriously. “As long as I’m alive, I won’t let anything happen to Luo Ya and Luo Huatian!”

She then pulled Qin Huai aside. “You don’t have to worry about the dragon corpse. It’s recorded in the large sects of Qingzhou. Such a dragon corpse cannot be moved even by ordinary human power artifacts, and only geniuses like you who have cultivated dragon king force can activate it. Otherwise, the True Path sect would not have placed this dragon corpse in a small place like Lingjiang. However, some ignorant people will definitely covet this item.”

“Thank you for informing me, Elder Xu.” When Qin Huai heard this, he was more or less reassured.

After that, Qin Huai watched them leave.

“You have met your old friends and relatives briefly before parting again.” Li Zewu, beside him, was touched by the scene.

“Separation is for a better meeting.” Qin Huai’s gaze was firm. “Only by becoming strong enough can we have the ability to pursue true stability.”

“Sect Master, are you going to leave us too?” Li Zewu asked.

“With my current abilities, it’s too difficult for me to protect the Nine Dragons sect. We need to go to Qingzhou to find a stronger force.” His current realm was already somewhat stagnant, so it would take a year for the nine dragons true qi technique to break through again.

…

In the next few days, Qin Huai had always been in seclusion in the sect’s hinterland, forging artifacts and researching new poison formulas for the Nine Dragon Sect as a foundation.

On the tenth day, Qin Huai was interrupted. It was Madam Li Shaoxiang, who was dealing with the settlement of the surrounding towns. In the end, the two of them lay on the bed, sweating profusely.

“Husband, originally, the people of the cities under Lingjiang county were in dire straits. Now that the Nine Dragons sect has taken over the throne, this situation is much better. The disciples and elders that I chose were all trustworthy and had excellent character. The response was excellent. When I reached the fifth city, there would be people lining the streets to welcome me.” Li Shaoxiang’s eyes were filled with pride.

“That’s good news,” Qin Huai was also very pleased. “This proves that we didn’t fight this battle in vain.”

After getting rid of the county governor and the Sacred Heart sect, especially the latter, it made all parts of the county seem to be full of vitality again. It grew in reverse in this great world, blooming with vitality.

“The Daoist of the Green Cloud Temple is right. My husband is not only the destiny of the Nine Dragons sect but also the destiny of the entire Lingjiang county.” Li Shaoxiang’s eyes were filled with excitement.

“That’s why I’ll go to Qingzhou to seek stronger power.”

“Husband, go. I will help you manage the entire Lingjiang from the rear. I’m still observing the people of the Twin Extreme sect and identifying the elders among them. It might take some time for that sect to take over the command of Lingjiang.” Li Shaoxiang kept talking to Qin Huai.

Li Shaoxiang was highly skilled in handling various matters, thanks to the training she received from Li Zeren in her youth. Despite being a few years apart, this did not have much impact on her abilities.

Now, with Qin Huai regarded as the most influential figure in the entire Lingjiang, Li Shaoxiang, as the wife of ‘King Lingjiang,’ could finally demonstrate her expertise.

The following morning, Li Zeren entered Qin Huai’s study, bringing an intelligence report from Huai Dan City. “The Balance Army didn’t attack us. Instead, they shifted their focus to Shangjiang county, located beyond Lingjiang.”

Puzzled, Qin Huai murmured, “This Balance Army…”

He couldn’t comprehend their actions, as they were supposed to be Lingjiang’s ultimate threat. Why had they suddenly withdrawn? Regardless, this development was advantageous for them, as there was no need for further conflict.

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes, considering the final task to complete before departing for Qingzhou. While the Balance Army had not yet retreated, he needed to travel to Huai Dan City and bring his master back. Naturally, he had to prepare thoroughly beforehand.

Seated cross-legged in the training room, Qin Huai slowly infused his body with dragon king qi. Instead of white lines appearing on his muscles, his black hair started turning snow-white.

Gradually, a terrifying power blossomed from an unseen source—the dragon king form!
